  1. Re:What about failure on Robotic Legs Instead of Wheelchairs · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because people never stumble without wearing those techno trousers. Or collapse because of alcohol intoxication.

    I think not!

    Yeah, like Redhat, SuSE, Mandriva, etc.

    using a matrix to solve for lambda is the best way, so he says.
    He was just trying to impress you by saying lambda. The steps you have outlined are the row operations on a matrix you have to do to solve the matrix (because there is a one-to-one translation between a system of equations and a augmented matrix):
    x1 + x2 = 33 - (1)
    x2 + x4 = 18 - (2)
    x1 + x3 = 41 - (3)
    x2 + x3 = 24 - (4)
    translates to:
    [ 1 1 0 0 | 33 ] (1)
    [ 0 1 0 1 | 18 ] (2)
    [ 1 0 1 0 | 41 ] (3)
    [ 0 1 1 0 | 24 ] (4)

  18. Re:and yet we still buy "Made in China" on China Bans Running Your Own Email Server · · Score: 1

    Western countries were manufacturing merchandise in China long before the Tianenmen Square event. Meanwhile, China has been buying up American debt. If the States suddenly decide to shutdown their manufacturing plants, what could the Chinese government do with all the bought up American debt?

    If they asked for their money back, would that plunge the U.S. into a deep depression?

  22. Re:Keyboard + mouse tray on Making Modifications to Your Computer Workspace? · · Score: 1
    For optimum comfort, make sure that your mouse is located as close to your centerline as possible.
    I'm using a el'cheapo BENQ Internet Keyboard and a Microsoft Trackball. (By the way, I love my trackball. It's way easier on the wrists than pushing around rodents all day long. Anyways, let's get back on-topic.) There are more expensive ones like the Microsoft Natural Keyboard. I have test-typed them at some stores, but to me they feel way too flimsy.

    That said, my ideal keyboard would use the IBM key springs, have a gap in the center like MS keyboards, with a trackball where the gap is. Now that's what I would call a hands-on keyboard. (pun intended)
